I think some of our problem when it gets to these really cold days is that our Traeger TPB-150 Corn burning boiler can keep up with the demand of the house, but *just barely*. Part of this is an attic insulation issue (we don't have any), but I think part of it also is just the size of this house and number of windows. We have 75 windows in this place! Great view of the river valley, but expensive to heat. We have been running our gas fireplace insert way more than we want to this year and so we are thinking some of putting in a corn burning insert instead. This would take some load off the main boiler and I think make the whole place easier to heat. We are hoping to add attic insulation right after the first of the year when the tax credits kick in.

So shopping around, this is the best looking fireplace insert on the market and other Quadrafire products are highly rated, so I am hoping this is just as good. I get some time to do some additional research. I guess they are running about nine months backorder right now!

I am using a new tool to make this entry. Our tie-wearing friend from down the street, Andrew, suggested I look into the Blog This tool for the Firefox browser. To make this page, I went to the Quadrafire page I wanted to comment on and did a right click with the mouse to choose "blog this" . It worked pretty slick! Thanks Andrew!
